Sean Payton hopes to be back on sidelines after bye week
 

What, he won't be on the sideline for the Tampa game. Dam.

I hope he gets down to the locker room for the half. Even if we're winning.

I agree with this. I would like him to as well. I think the team needs the head coach in their face at least at half time.

From what I understand, the reason he wasn't down in the locker room at halftime of the Rams game was because the St. Louis stadium is kind of a maze to get through, it's hard to navigate and get from "inside" the stadium upper booth area to the locker rooms portion, even without a broken leg slowing you down. I think that Tampa might have a little bit better setup, and a better chance of him getting down there for the half. At least I hope so.

Were in the Dome this week....should be a quick shot down

Yeah, why did I think it was in Tampa? Thanks for reminding me.... It would be a terrible thing if I slept in late, woke up, made some breakfast, leisurely turned on the game on TV, then noticed the big Fleur de lis on the middle of the field... and remembered my ticket was under a magnet stuck to the refrigerator door in the kitchen. Don't want that to happen!

The question is "Should he be on the sideline...and how close?"

If he has a gimpy leg already, is he going to be able to get away in time for history not to repeat itself? He has already shown that he has difficulty getting out of the way even when healthy.

Put him behind a plexiglass shield or whatever it takes the team responds around his sideline energy.

Put the man on a gurney,golf cart, or any thing they can think of just get him to the sideline. What a stinkin' freak injury that was, poor guy.
